  "textContent": "Resharing from hls channel here since it might interesting option to users:\n\nApparently vscode extension can simultaneously be extension pack Extension Optional Dependency · Issue #6384 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub.\nMicrosoft is doing that with their official python extension vscode-python/gulpfile.js at 66ff9a42990cd538c8363be7218b22548856fa9f · microsoft/vscode-python · GitHub.\nSo there’s no need to publish separate extension or extension pack. If we add extension pack to `vscode-haskell`, it will install syntax highlighting for all new users of extension when installed (and hopefully when updated for current users as well).\nIf somebody uses other syntax highlighting, extensions from pack can be uninstalled or disabled after initial installation.",
